The flip side of a Utopian world is its dystopian downfall. The Hunger Games Study Guide by Progeny Press walks with readers through this first novel in the trilogy. This close reading may engage a reluctant reader to finish the trilogy. Sections are comprised of 3-4 chapters and readers will be working with words right from the start in each section—using words in context, finding definitions, and looking up other related words. Comprehension questions come next, covering details from the reading followed by critical thinking questions that work on developing literary analysis skills. The final set of questions, connect the reading of this dystopian novel with scripture and Christian themes. Many of the sections will have Optional Activities that can be done in small groups or individually like research, creative writing, or good discussion. Literary skills covered are many—similes and metaphors, flashbacks, syntax, foreshadowing, pacing, dramatic irony, perspective, cliff hanger, story elements, and many others. Prereading Activities provide context to what you will read. Post reading Essay Prompts help readers make further connections to the text and showcase what they have learned.

Description
Publisher's Description of The Hunger Games Study Guide | Progeny Press
A post war-torn dystopian North America has collapsed after a series of apocalyptic events, and Panem, made up of 13 districts and the Capitol, has risen from the ruins.
Almost 75 years ago, the districts rebelled against the oppressive rule of the Capitol, resulting in the total annihilation of District 13 and even tighter control of the remaining 12 districts. It also gave rise to the Hunger Games, an annual event in which one boy and one girl are selected from each district as "tributes" for the Games. (reminiscent of the Greek legend of Theseus & the Minotaur) The 24 tributes are put into an advanced gladiatorial arena, where the children must fight to the death over a number of days as the Games are televised across Panem for the viewing entertainment of the Capitol and as a brutal reminder to the districts of exactly who is in charge.
Enter Katniss Everdeen, who provides for her mother and sister by hunting and gathering with her friend Gale outside the fence that surrounds District 12, a coal mining town in the coal-rich region formerly known as Appalachia. When Katniss' young sister Prim is chosen as a tribute, Katniss volunteers to take her place, to save her sister from certain death. With Peeta, the boy chosen from District 12, Katniss is taken to the Capitol to enter the Hunger Games. Katniss begins to rise as a contender, and people take notice. But can she win when she must choose between her survival and her humanity?
An intense look at self-sacrifice at all costs.
